A caravan tourism project in the Indian pilgrimage city of Tirupati has not progressed beyond a single vehicle demonstration in February. The key issue was pricing: renting a caravan for a day for a group of 5-8 people was estimated at around 50,000 rupees, making the service unaffordable for middle-income visitors. The Tourism department did not present clear plans to promote the project.

Caravan tourism is gaining popularity in India, particularly in the state of Maharashtra, where people are choosing it over hotels. Renting a caravan costs between 12,000 and 15,000 Indian Rupees per day, and the private company Caravan Group has signed a 185 crore Rupee agreement with the Tamil Nadu government to develop the sector.

Spain set a motorhome registration record — and immediately tightened the rules. On Mallorca, 150 caravans took over a sports complex car park because renting a flat costs more.

Demolitions in Turkey, bans in Scotland, and a woman who drove along the Baltic in an electric Smart — all in this issue.
